THE GUYANA NATIONAL BROADCASTING AUTHORITY SUCCESSFULLY HOSTED ITS FIRST BLOOD DRIVE
Blood Donors- GNBA & NFMU staff Members, including Nurses from the National Blood Transfusion Service
The Guyana National Broadcasting Authority, in recognition of the recently concluded Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Month, successfully hosted its first Blood Drive yesterday. This was part of a list of activities planned by its Occupational Health and Safety Committee.
This Blood Drive saw participation from the National Frequency Management Unit; GNBA’s sister agency. Participants included: Managing Director of the NFMU, Mr. Valmikki Singh, including a number of other good Samaritans from the Unit who participated and donated with a smile on their faces.
As the demand for blood continues to exceed supply capacity at the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS), the GNBA and the NFMU took the challenge of assisting the NBTS in acquiring much-needed blood.
This initiative was well received. Donors were given a Voluntary Blood Donor’s Book and were encouraged to continue to give blood in the future since such a humanitarian gesture saves lives.
The Guyana National Broadcasting Authority continues to embrace the efficacy and importance of health and safety, morale and overall personal development of its staff members.
Administrative Manager and acting CEO of the Broadcasting Authority, Mrs. Violet Boyal, expressed her satisfaction. She views this as a stepping stone for many similar activities to be executed by the Authority in the near future.
